[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life insurance is a good idea.

As far as divorce...I don't plan for it.  Seriously.  The way we make our marriage work is that we are both in it 100%, no contingency plans.  And I wouldn't stay home if I wasn't sure about that.[/quote]

This is me as well. We have life insurance. And my DH has excellent health and disability benefits through his work.

We don't plan for divorce. I'm also not planning for a smallpox outbreak, zombie invasion, or apocalypse.   We've been together 30 years, married for 26. People who make marriages work don't plan for divorce.

I'm pretty sure my MIL didn't plan for this.  33 years later, turns out not to be the case.  It's great to assume, work, and hope that nothing will happen in your marriage but you never know.  I never would have thought they'd divorce.  Turns out he had a side piece for YEARS, married her 6 weeks after the divorce.  And even though she had a GREAT lawyer, her future isn't as safe as it would have been if she had her own retirement accounts as well.  It's not stupid to be careful.  I also think it's offensive to say that someone didn't work at a marriage - sometimes shit doesn't work out. It's not that difficult to see why many women plan to be able to live on just their income.  
Worst that can happen is, come retirement, you have that much more money to live a secure retirement.[/quote]
